Known Issues for This Vehicle

Oil consumption

The LE5 engine, like many GM Ecotec engines, is known for higher than average oil consumption, which may require more frequent oil top-offs.

Timing chain issues

Some owners have reported premature timing chain wear or failure, which can lead to serious engine damage if not addressed.

Coolant leaks

The Ecotec engines can develop coolant leaks, particularly from the water pump or head gasket area.

Ignition coil failure

The ignition coils on the LE5 engine can fail, leading to misfires, rough running, and poor fuel economy.

Carbon build-up

Direct fuel injection can lead to carbon build-up on intake valves, which can cause rough idling and performance issues over time.

Throttle body problems

Throttle body issues can cause erratic idle, stalling, and poor throttle response.

Fuel injector issues

The injectors on the LE5 engine can become clogged or fail, leading to poor engine performance and fuel economy.
